SCOTCH

Keywords: Mesh partitioning - Domain decomposition - Graph algorithmics - High-performance calculation - Sparse matrix ordering - Static mapping

Functional Description: Scotch is a graph partitioner. It helps optimise the division of a problem, by means of a graph, into a set of independent sub-problems of equivalent sizes. These sub-problems can also be solved in parallel.

Release Functional Description: Version 6.0 offers many new features:

sequential graph repartitioning

sequential graph partitioning with fixed vertices

sequential graph repartitioning with fixed vertices

new, fast, direct k-way partitioning and mapping algorithms

multi-threaded, shared memory algorithms in the (formerly) sequential part of the library

exposure in the API of many centralized and distributed graph handling routines

embedded pseudo-random generator for improved reproducibility

and even more...
